FAWM: "Maximum Light"

Maximum Light

Liner Notes

Another turn on the #wheel-of-the-year, this time Litha / summer solstice.

It's a minimal / maximal song. The prayer in the middle is drawn from a druidic invocation called the Litha prayer to the Mother Goddess.

Lyrics

Hail to you, Mother Goddess. You who source the life pulse in all things, you who embody the essence of fullness – the full reflective Moon, the fully blazing Sun, the gloriously fully bloomed flower of Summer.

Love the contrast with the retro space synth sound and a druidic prayer. So cool!

This is so beautiful & resonant, calling in the light <3 I love the dissonance falling into that synth. Such lovely composition! The harmonies feel euphoric! "The gloriously fully bloomed flower of Summer" is a beautiful image that yall have captured so well in the music <3 The drums coming in after the prayer & then the synth made me feel like I was flying :D So so wonderful!

Some very interesting sounds in the backing track . The singing is really cool . That pinball sample at the end was unexpected...as you planned I assume. WEll done

Thanks! The “pinball sample“ was a happy accident that came about by doubling the time of the synth recording. When we heard it we knew that was how to end the track!
